LESLEY FROM TORQUAY (October 2019)
Thank you for the wonderful service you did for my father Christopher. I can't tell you what a difference you made, your guidance, writing and reading was so appreciated and your delivery on the day faultless. I know you were so helpful to my sister putting together the Order of Service with her and helping us at a time when we needed it the most.
Ciaran did us a great service finding you. At the most difficult time of our lives, you both made such a difference. My father was very special and every step of the way you both made sure he had the best funeral service possible.
I thank you so very much, it felt like you went the extra mile for us and my Dad. Then again that is your gift, going beyond the call of duty and giving us such care and attention.

SHARON FROM PAIGNTON (September 2019)
Hi Brian
I watched the service tonight and I would like to pass on my sincere thanks for the respectful manner in which you held the service. I am positive I would have had my brother Keith’s approval!!
It meant a lot to be able to see the service and for you arrange the live broadcast.
I am currently recovering from intensive surgery so have been somewhat “fragile” but you and the Funeral Directors have made it so much easier for me.
Thank you so much.
